Judge My Playlist, Volume 4: Future Panic

Jesus! So insufferably blue/gray.

Another week, another playlist…

“Future Panic” came about because I wanted to preserve the
post-apocalyptic essence of some of my favorite songs by Gorillaz (no “the,”
huh?). I only picked three songs by them in the end, but that’s a lot about me
being rigidly democratic on my playlists. In other words, if I’m going to make
a playlist, the thing is going to be mixed.

Portland’s very own, The Thermals show up a lot on this one
too, but I think the whole thing devolved into just…songs about…I dunno, outer
space? Before I got finished with it?

As always, and per the project, let me know what you think
if you wanna. Or just enjoy. Or ignore. Free country, and all that....

As always, I set up a playlist for all the above on Spotify,
but I figure if they have them, Apple Music, etc. will as well. Links are
embedded below for all the songs that didn’t show up on Spotify. And, won’t
lie, feel guilty about swiping The Make Up’s (fucking) classic, “Born on the
Floor,” because I sense that band is off Spotify for fairly specific reasons.
In my defense, I view this as spreading some form of gospel. “Born on the Floor”
is fucking genius.

One more thing: the distortion on some of this stuff broke
my wife on a recent road trip. You’ve been warned.
